The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Sankaracarya eBook

[Footnote 120: The doubt about the meaning of
a word is preferably to be decided by means of a reference
to preceding passages; where that is not possible
(the doubtful word occurring at the beginning of some
new chapter) complementary, i.e. subsequent passages
have to be taken into consideration.]

[Footnote 121: The v/ri/ttikara, the commentators
say.]

[Footnote 122: I.e. which has not been mixed
with water and earth, according to Ch. Up.
VI, 3, 3. Before that mixture took place light
was entriely separated from the other elements, and
therefore bounded by the latter.]

[Footnote 123: So as to justify the assumption
that such a thing as non-tripartite light exists at
all.]

[Footnote 129: The text runs, ‘astitve
ka pra/n/ana/m/ ni/hs/reyasam,’ and Go.
An. explains ’astitve pra/n/asthitau pra/n/ana/m/
indriya/n/am sthitir ity arthata/h/ srutim
aha.’ He as well as An. Gi. quotes
as the text of the scriptural passage referred to
’athato ni/hs/reyasadanam ity adi.’
But if instead of ‘astitve ka’ we
read ‘asti tv eva,’ we get the concluding
clause of Kau. Up. III, 2, as given in Cowell’s
edition.].

[Footnote 130: Whence we know that the interior
Self referred to in the Kau. Up. is Brahman.]
